#61 of 99 When by joe3891 May 09, 2002 (8:15 am)
you start moving the VSS sensor is suppose to kick in,letting the computer know you are moving.If the computer thinks the car isn't moving it gets confused.I would scan it and see what codes are.
#62 of 99 You may have to physically check connectors by zr2rando May 09, 2002 (3:13 pm)
I had a loose connection on 1 pin in a 4-pin connector to my fuel tank. You may want to verify that all connectors are tight and no pins are loose inside the connectors,,,sometimes just jiggling the connector will find the problem,,that's what I had to do in my case.. good luck hint: just work with 1 connector at a time see ya

#64 of 99 Aluminum transmission pan by larieb May 17, 2002 (12:12 pm)
I am going with an oversize aluminum finned transmission pan for my 5.4 liter ford van , I liked the idea about putting a magnet to pick up small metallic shavings , I am considering Epoxing a magnet to the bottom inside of pan but am concerned about after a while the transmission fluid eating away the epoxy and maybe magnet obstructing fiter somehow , any ideas or comments ... thanks Larry
#65 of 99 I know what you mean... by adc100 May 17, 2002 (3:42 pm)
I doubt it would block off the filter, but the epoxy could possibly dissolve and contaminate the oil. GM, looks like they use epoxy on theirs. Perhaps you could get a stronger magnet and epoxy it to the outside?? Just a thought. You could try it out before putting it in place.

I'd think twice about the epoxy idea.I use one of the best epoxies available to assemble heads to golf clubs.It can be easily broken down in boiling water(212*F). Better compare the temp of the fluid vs. the temp of breakdown.JMO
#67 of 99 larieb, try using a magnetic drainbolt by zr2rando May 18, 2002 (3:19 am)
Parts stores sell kits that you can put drainbolts into trans-pans that did not have bolts previously, I never used one but I have seen them. Maybe you can put a drain-bolt in your pan and just use a magnetic bolt, best of both worlds-better cooling and easier filter changing! see ya
#68 of 99 If you go to a site called by gsleve May 18, 2002 (5:44 am)
synlube they sell magnets that are rare earth much much stronger than ceramic and their designed to placed in the transmission pan on transfer cases transaxels their pretty good I use them for these purposes

Does anyone know the AT fluid capacity for a 2002 4 cyl. Camry? I looked in the owner's manual but couldn't find anything.
